Elizabeth NafzigerThe clinical aspects of this [SET in El Salvador] were a highlight of medical school, without a doubt. But what I appreciated most was the opportunity to improve my Spanish so that I can communicate better with my patients who are Spanish-speakers and to become more culturally sensitive. My understanding of global health…has a greater depth and a firmer foundation thanks to this experience.
